NPP/SDS OVERVIEW MATT SCHWALLER February 9,
2004 The NPP Science Team and other appropriate
science measurement teams shall assist in
addressing the roles and functionality of the
SDS. from the NPP Level 1 Requirement 2.1.2.4

Slide presented at the November NPP Science Team
meeting

SDS Budget

• SDS is constrained by budget
• Congressional conference language allocation
  for FY04 8.5M
• Note recent email provided this direction Due
  to considerations associated with the
  preparations of the FY04 Operating Plan, please
  be sure to hold off from presently taking action
  to implement any of these funds

Basic SDS Objectives

• These objectives translate into a set of SDS
  functions (see back ups)
• Network/Transport Function
• Ingest/Storage Function
• Characterization/Verification Function
• Trend, analyze, process
• Reporting Function

• Based on current set of program policies (see
  back up charts), the SDS will
• assess the quality of the NPP EDRs for
  accomplishing climate research (2.1.2)
• acquire RDRs, SDRs, and EDRs from the ADS
  (2.1.2.2)
• provide suggested algorithm improvements to the
  IDPS (2.1.2.3)
• process selected data subsets in support of
  Calibration/Validation activities (2.2.2)
• enable a fully distributed interoperable
  architecture of Climate Analysis Research System
  (CARS) elements, organized around key EDRs
  (2.1.2.4)

Implementation Issues

• BASIC ISSUE meeting the functional requirements
  while enabling a fully distributed
  interoperable architecture of Climate Analysis
  Research System (CARS) elements, organized around
  key EDRs
• Other issues that come to mind
• Definition of CARs (one size doesnt fit all)
• Allocation of RDRs/SDRs/EDRs to CARS
• Phasing and lifecycle
• What capabilities must be active at launch
• What capabilities can be phased in later
• Cost constraints
